Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here.
Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
```
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
```
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Restore (disambiguation) (currently a redirect to Restore) → Restore (move · discuss) – Revert undiscussed move per WP:RMUM GilaMonster536 (talk) 15:24, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
~~CS usage is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC out of articles listed at the DAB.~~ Tule-hog (talk) 19:02, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dubious. See Restoration. 162 etc. (talk) 00:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, still getting used to the "-ation" split on some DABs. Ran into that recently with aggregate vs aggregation. I agree articles at restoration challenge current target. Tule-hog (talk) 05:13, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Cathepsin L2 → Cathepsin V (currently a redirect back to Cathepsin L2) (move · discuss) – The name Cathepsin V has come into majority use over Cathepsin L2. See Google Scholar hits since 2021 using both. Gold Broth (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Gold Broth - can you provide a link to your GS results? When looking at V vs L2 in since 2024 I see about a 2x return in results, but there is still clearly use as L2, and I don't have the subject matter expertise to understand that these two are the same, but I'm not sure that 90 vs 180 is showing a significant shift. This seems like there might be a shift going on, and I would suggest a full RM discussion on the talk page, which you seem to have started an informal one already. TiggerJay (talk) 05:25, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Executive magistrates of the Roman Republic → Magistrates of the Roman Republic (currently a redirect instead to Thomas Robert Shannon Broughton#Magistrates of the Roman Republic) (move · discuss) – See Talk:Executive magistrates of the Roman Republic#GA Reassessment under "Title". I agree with original poster. Target title is currently a redirect, it should be dropped. I've put in a {{for}} template on the original title page for disambiguation. Ifly6 (talk) 09:11, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This appears to be a contentious PTOPIC grab between a redirect to a marginally viewed article, with the potential for a different article with also very marginal view numbers. The referenced talk page discussion was from over 5 years ago and the article has been stable at the current title for a while. It would seem like a full RM discussion would be required, especially because it would impact not only this page, but also the current redirect as well. TiggerJay (talk) 05:29, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ako Legal Wife: Mano Po 4? → Mano Po 4: Ako Legal Wife (currently a redirect back to Ako Legal Wife: Mano Po 4?) (move · discuss) – The title "Ako Legal Wife: Mano Po 4?" is just stylization, and is also missing an exclamation mark from the film's promotional material. Revert back to original title. DasKlose (talk) 12:06, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Woman I Am (Aurora song) (currently a redirect to The Woman I Am (song)) → The Woman I Am (song) (move · discuss) – The Aurora song is the only one with an article. GiankM. M (talk) 00:48, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ravaisson-Mollien (currently a redirect to Félix Ravaisson-Mollien) → Félix Ravaisson-Mollien (move · discuss) – common name Xpander (talk) 10:34, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Kitabu'l-Asmáʼ (currently a redirect to Kitábu'l-Asmáʼ) → Kitábu'l-Asmáʼ (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – There is a mistake in the transliteration (which follows Baháʼí orthography): the first “a” must have an accent – “á”. “Kitábu'l-Asmáʼ” is actually included in the list of examples of transliteration of bahai.org. I cannot move the page myself because there are special characters in the title. Auteuil-Passy (talk) 10:51, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Writings of Bahá'ú'lláh (currently a redirect to Writings of Baháʼu'lláh) → Writings of Baháʼu'lláh (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – There is a mistake in the transliteration of Baháʼu'lláh's name (which follows Baháʼí orthography); I cannot move the page myself because there are special characters in the title. Auteuil-Passy (talk) 12:11, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling (currently a redirect to Executive Order 14190) → Executive Order 14190 (move · discuss) – Consistency with other articles about executive orders –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 15:34, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is the convention, so I won't object, but the current title seems more WP:RECOGNIZABLE to me. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:09, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Sokol → Sokol (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Sokol) (move · discuss) – Undiscussed. Restore primary redirect to Sokol movement 162 etc. (talk) 19:28, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- From the talk page, it's not clear whether there is a primary topic. @Joy: perhaps you might want to comment. older ≠ wiser 20:00, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Yeah, we've been stable for a year now without a primary topic, and nobody engaged at Talk:Sokol. I would say the time window for a technical reversal is gone after a few months of stability, no? So if one wants to make a redirect to the historical movement, that should not be done automatically, rather it merits further discussion in the talk pages. --Joy (talk) 20:43, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  According to the pageviews you posted at Talk:Sokol, about 70% of pageviews go to Sokol movement. That makes the no primary argument pretty indefensible. 162 etc. (talk) 23:04, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  
  Sokol movement is pretty clearly the primary topic based on pageviews, so throughout this period that has been the primary topic, and nothing that happens on a talk page can affect this objective reality. —Alalch E. 23:37, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
